Please follow the steps below to set up a filter in VigilEnt Security Manager:

  1. Launch the report you wish to apply the new filter against by going to the Task Queues | Completed Tasks node located in the left tree pane.
  2. In the right pane, double click on the specific report where you wish to apply the filter. 
  3. Once the Data Presenter has completed loading the report, click Filter Data located on the button toolbar.  (On the toolbar, this button appears as a funnel).
  4. In the Filter Report dialog box, click the far left drop down menu and select the column title you wish to filter on.
  5. Click the second drop down menu and select the operator you wish to use, e.g. Contains, Equals, Not Equal.
  6. Finally, type in the criteria you wish to filter on.  You will have to type the criteria exactly how it appears in the report.
  7. Click OK.

The filter will take effect immediately.  To undo the filter, click Filter Data once.  To modify or edit the filter, click Filter Data a second time and the Filter Report dialog box will load.  From this dialog box you can also remove the filter from the report by clicking Remove Filter.
